International Homeless Animals’ Day at Lehigh County Humane

entrance-300x200On Saturday, August 15th, along with thousands of Humane Societies around the world, the Lehigh County Humane Society commemorated International Homeless Animals’ Day.

On this day we mourned the thousands of animals that were sent by other shelters to suffer and die at so-called “rescues”, while celebrating the many thousands of lives saved through the compassionate efforts of The Lehigh County Humane Society.

See photos of the event and read the whole story.
